Hi all –
First the boilerplate:
On CentOS-release.x86_64 7-0.1406.el7.CentOS.2.3
[root@localhost x86_64]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 30
12:09:22 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost x86_64]# rpm -qa kernel\* | sort kernel-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
kernel-devel-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
kernel-headers-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
kernel-tools-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
kernel-tools-libs-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64

I built kernel-3.10.0-229.7.2.el7, successfully to appearances. But on installing the new rpms I receive a couple dozen messages like these:
[root@localhost x86_64]# rpm -ivh kernel-*.rpm Preparing… #################################

Have I missed a step? Maybe something specific to 7 or different from 6?
Thanks…..Nick

  • Instead of ‘rpm -ivh’, try ‘yum localinstall’. Some packages cannot be
    “installed” but can only be “updated”.

  • One can do “update” with rpm command: ‘rpm -Uvh’ (or upgrade rather), but on systems managed with yum it is much better to use yum, exactly as you suggest.

  • Thanks for pointing this out. The wiki article now has additional notes and includes the yum command.

    Thank you much.

    So far, the newer 3.10.0-229 feels a bit faster on my hardware than

    the previous 3.10.0-123 despite being about 80K larger (removed the GFS2 modules: only have 2GB RAM).
